11. Must choose between Odds (#2 or #7) and Consec. (#2 or #4). Odds #7 looks good, followed by Consec. #4. Break up 8D.

12. Torn between Consec. and Odds. You're not going to do Like Numbers or Consec. #4, so 2C can go.

13. Torn between 369 #1 and Like Nos. #2. 369 #1 is stronger by one tile, so discard anything to the right of the soaps.

14. In order not to break up any options for the 2013, you should discard any of the suit tiles. But the F is not needed for 2013 #1. Yank it out by the roots.
